The new student body officers of
the University of Miami were installed in office at a special assembly last Tuesday morning. Clifton
Larsen, graduating chief justice of
the honor court, administered the
oath of office to Warren Grant,
newly elected chief justice, who in
turn installed the other offices.
The students who were sworn
into office are: Joseph Eggum,
president; Marguerite Sweat, vice-
president; Byrl Wheeler, secretary-
treasurer; Carrington Gramling,
prosecuting attorney; Warren
Grant, chief justice of the honor
court; and the following associate
justices of the honor court: Aileen
Booth, Idell Martin, Earl Howard,
Stuart Patton, Wade Stiles, and
Jimmy Ashworth.
The tapping ceremonies of the
"Iron Arrow" men's honorary
society, were a feature of the
special assembly. Seven new members were selected and Warren
Longnecker, a member of the faculty, was made an honorary member. New men taken in are: Warren Grant, Franklin Albert, Donald
Grant, Shirley Dix, Joseph Eggum,
Walter Haring, and Robert Minear.
Dr. Victor Andres Belaunde,
professor of Latin American History and Institutions at the University of Miami, left last Saturday morning via Pan American
Airways for Havana, Cuba, from
where he will go to Lima, Peru, by
the steamer Orduna to join his
family and his brother, Dr. Raphael
Belaunde, who is now secretary to
David Semanez Oeampo, president
of Peru.
Upon his arrival in Lima, May
26, Dr. Belaunde will resume his
work as editor of the paper "La
Mercurio Por Juan", and will deliver a series of lectures on history
and government at the University
of Lima. He will also conduct a
seminar in Peru on the problems
and modern currents of political
and social thought.
Dr- Belaunde's brother, Raphael,
who is now the confidential secretary of the president of Peru, was
granted a leave of absence from
the University of Miami, March
21st, to go to Peru and serve his
country.
Dr. Belaunde will return to the
University of Miami next year and
is enthusiastic about the plan of
conducting a winter course during
the three summer vacation months
of January, February, and March
for students of Latin America i.t
the University of Miami. He is also
very much interested in the exchange of students of the Unite'!
States and Latin-American countries and thinks that the University
of Miami is the logical institute for
bringing about this contact.
Dr. Belaunde's early departure
from the University is due to the
illness of his wife, who is in Lima,
and prevented his accepting the
offer of the University of Georgia
to deliver the main address at th-.'
International Relations and Public-
Affairs meeting at Athens, Georgia,
and participating in the Latin-
American Round Table Conference
to he held at the University of
Virginia.

"For Success of  Honor Code,  All
Violation. Mast Be Reported,**
New Leaders Declare
In a statement to the Hurricane,
newly elected officers of the student body, Joe Eggum, Marguerite
Sweat, Byrl Wheeler, Carrington
Gramling, and Warren Grant, expressed the following I views in regard to the enforcement of the
honor system:
"The honor system belongs at
the University of Miami because
we know the students of the University are essentially honorable.
However, there are bound to be
violations of the honor code by
some students. To avoid bringing
the honor system into contempt
and general disregard these breaches of the Honor Code must be
reported to the Honor Court and
disposed of. An unpunished cheater
receives a higher grade than he
deserves, boasts of it, puts himself
on an equal plane as to marks
with those who honestly earn them,
and brings the general reputation
of the student body into disrepute.
"A majority of the students do
not cheat or steal and want the
honor system. For it to survive and
succeed, and according to the constitution, every student must report
any cheating he may see to the
honor court, where the accused
will receive a fair and impartial
trial. ;
i
"We,  the  majority of the  stu-
[ dents, who want the honor system,
and do not cheat or steal, must
not allow the minority who violate
; our code to lose it for us by not
i reporting them."
The  new officers have taken a
; pledge to uphold their beliefs as
expressed in this statement.

A music camp for school children will be one of the summer
activities of the University of
Miami conservatory of music,
which will start early in June.
Bertha Foster, dean of the school
of music, has worked out a plan
for the wise use of leisure time
which children have on their hands
after school closes. Miss Foster
believes if music and dancing are
presented to children as a delight
and a pleasure, with no sense of
burden attached, they will enjoy
it-
Children will come every day
from 9 a. m. to noon to the new
university extension building, N.E.
Secouid Ave. and Fourteenth St..
where the shaded grounds and
patio and studios furnish a cool
setting for a camp. They will receive daily lessons in piano or
violin playing and dancing. Storytelling hours and craftwork will
keep them employed without monotony. Duet playing, sight reading,
and musicianship will be part of
the daily work, and their practicing will be supervised as part of
the game.
All this work will be in charge
of the regular faculty of the conservatory, and the price for the
instruction has been made reasonable.
Dr. John Thorn Holdsworth,
Dean of the School of Business
Administration at the University
of Miami, will teach at the University of Southern California summer school at the completion of the
summer session here, it was announced.
The University of Miami summer school will start June 15 and
end July 25, the U. S. C. summer
classes beginning two days later,
July 27. Dr. Holdsworth will teach
four subjects here, and will have
classes in money and banking,
finance, and current economical
problems at the California institution.
Dr. Holdsworth will deliver one
special lecture open to the public
at the University of Southern California. His subject will be "The
Challenge to Modern Capitalism—
Communism". This address will be
given August 18.
The proposed Winter Institute
of Literature, an institution designed to take advantage of the
many authors wintering in Miami
by bringing lovers of literature
into closer contact with those who
make it, will become a reality during the next year of the University
of Miami at its first annual session,
which will extend from January
18 to February 19, 1932.
Classes will be held at the university on Monday, Wednesday,
and Friday of each week throughout the session. One hour will be
in the forenoon and one in the
evening of each of these days.    .
Juniors and seniors will be eligible to attend the Institute.
Others taking the course will consist of special students, members
of social and literary clubs in the
district, members of college clubs,
and winter visitors who are interested in contemporary literature
and its makers. Two academic
credits in English will be awarded
for the completion of the session.
The fee for the five week's course
will be twenty-five dollars.
One of the purposes of the Institute is to make this district, with
the University as the common
meeting ground, a center of literary interest. Miami is the best
place in the country for a winter
colony of authors, and this firsthand contact with men and women
of letters is an enviable one for
readers of literature.
At least three aspects of literature will be presented each year
—poetry, fiction, and drama.
For the first meeting of the Institute (1932}, three authors have
already accepted the invitation to
instruct. Percival Wilde, well
known in Miami, will lecture on
"One Act Plays". Edward Davison,
a young British poet, will lecture
on "British Poets of the Twentieth
Century". Ole Rolvaag's subject
will be "Some Aspects of Scandinavian Literature".
A provisional acceptance has
come from Joseph Herg^sheimer
to lecture on "The Essential American Background of Our Literature". Robert Frost, who this year
won the Pulitzer Prize in poetry,
has been invited to talk on "Who
Owns The Poetry". Padraic Colum
